Guide Dog

I think I want to get one. I never thought I would want one, but I think it might be time. It has been ten years since I became (mostly) blind. There are a few problems:

1. I am very allergic to dogs (and just about everything else) and even the so-called "hypo-allergenic" breeds still can be a problem to an allergy sufferer.
2. I am not sure I am a dog person.
3. I don't want to get close to a dog only to have it die. I was reading a little bit on the web about when you have to retire your dog and it broke my heart.

I still think I want one. I will report back when I have more info.
